A typical day in my life includes…

I’m listening to…
Fashion Rewired podcasts and For King and Country.
My family…
is my safe place, gets crazy sometimes (with the 2 little ladies) but wouldn’t trade them for the world.

the late Azzedine Alaia.

a famous R&B singer, lol.
I’m inspired by…
strong women in family life and business.
The one person who motivates me is…
my 3 year old daughter, she’s always asking me to make a new dress. She keeps me dreaming and fresh.
My personal style…
comfy chic.
If I could change anything in the world, it would be…
the heart of mankind, to make us love unconditionally.
The perfect day would be…
a full body massage, good food, relaxing with my husband and of course sales alerts!
My first job was…
as a church office manager.
My favorite escape…
a long bath with a special playlist playing softly. A nice glass of wine wouldn’t hurt…lol.
My life…
is busy, but moving progressively in all aspects
I’m currently working on…
my business and brand with Phoenix Fashion Week Emerging Designers Bootcamp.
I can’t wait for Phoenix Fashion Week because…
I get to showcase my talents, hard work and vision to the world!
Always…
treat people with kindness.
Never…
judge.
Favorite Quote…
“She is clothed with strength and dignity and she laughs without fear of the future”. It resounds in my mind all the time.

My Pet Peeve(s)…
rudeness.
